St. Lambert Horticultural Society. 



Sir, — A new Horticultural Society has just been started at St. Lambert, near Mon- 

 treal, which is a thriving suburban village, and with many zealous amateur gardeners. It 

 is to be called the " St. Lambert Horticultural Society," and its object will be to encou- 

 rage, not only the cultivation of flowers, but also of fruits and vegetables, and to increase 

 the planting of trees. The Hon. L. 0. Taillon, Premier of the Province, has been invited 

 to become the Hon. President, as St. Lambert is in the County of Chambly, of which he is 

 member. And it is expected that the Society will speedily develop into a county one. 

 The other officers are : — President, Rev. W. J. Dart, M.A., Rector ; Vice-President, Mr. 

 A. Cameron ; Secretary-Treasurer, Mr. H. Bragg. Committee : — Mrs. Dawson, Mrs. G. 

 Brown, Mrs. Grant, and Messrs. P. M. Wickham, P. Locke, J. Brown, and J. F. Raphael. 

 An exhibition will be held in the fall, for which arrangements are now being made.

Mulberries. 



Sib, — Having read with much interest the latest report of the Fruit Growers' 

 Association, I would like to know why mulberries have not been considered sufficiently 

 important for discussion. Men who are travelling through the country selling trees have 

 been booming mulberries What is wrong with them that the leading fruit men will not 

 even mention them ? They certainly have their faults, yet they are delightful in many 

 respects.

Replies to these questions are solicited from our readers. 



Sib, — Could you, or some of the readers of the Hobticulturist, who have grown the 

 Stark apple, give their experience as to the hardiness of the tree, bearing and keeping 

 qualities, etc. ?
